New era dawns for GBHS

RONNIE SHORT

Manawhenua ki Mohua were among the 75 invited guests gathered to witness and bless the laying of a mauri stone at 5am last Friday, at the Golden Bay High School (GBHS) grounds.

The designated site is where the school’s new buildings will be situated.

The mauri stone was sourced from the Rameka River, and is a nodule of marble from the Arthur Marble Formation – a geological feature of major significance for aquifers and Te Waikoropupū. GBHS sits on deep, ancient layers of this marble under the gravel and under the limestone. It was formed over a period of 500 million years, during which it has been compressed, heated, cooked, crystallised and contorted by geological forces.

The small stone shows all that on its surface.

Although just a fragment, it can draw massive strength from the rest of its whānau close by.

Māori language teacher Margie Little walked through the crowd, inviting people to touch the stone and pass to it their good thoughts. It is believed a mauri stone contains life force and works to regulate the energy flow in, out, and around the land and building, as well as providing guardianship to all within.

Manawhenua kuia Mairangi Reiher and Margie Little were kaikaranga as the assembly of people made their way to gather near the prepared site. Interim Manawhenua ki Mohua chair Barney Thomas led the proceedings, which consisted of many karakia, each followed by a waiata.

Students were present to lead the waiata – their voices ringing through the pre-dawn air. A shiver rippled through the crowd when a shooting star appeared during one of the karakia. It felt like an auspicious moment, highlighting the blessings taking place.

Delivering the karakia and mihimihi were Te Atiawa chair Archdeacon Harvey Ruru and pou whakahaere of Ngāti Rārua Shane Graham.

By 5.40am the temperature had noticeably dropped, and guests were invited to speak.

Several gave thanks and their best wishes for the project, including Chris Hill on behalf of Tasman District Council; chair of the school’s Board of Trustees Andy Williams; art teacher and artist Robin Slow, and principal Linda Tame. Barney then initiated action.

“Ata mārie – good morning everyone. But we’re not going anywhere until we cover this mauri stone over – do we have a shovel?”

The rangatahi were invited to partake, followed by anyone who wanted to add a shovelful of earth. Some guests departed for work, whilst 60 remained to enjoy a sit-down breakfast in the school library.

Strategically seated in accordance with Alert Level 2, breakfast attendees were relieved to be able to remove their face masks and enjoy a hot cuppa and croissant, or yoghurt and fresh fruit. Linda and deputy principal Richard Baker were among those serving the guests, who included local kāumatua John Ward-Holmes and workers from the construction company Naylor Love. Thanks were extended to the ringawera for preparing the food which was blessed by Harvey Ruru.

Asked for comment Linda said: “We are extremely excited about the redevelopment.

The school vision is to inspire world-ready rangatahi. The redevelopment will support this vision by ‘walking backwards into the future’; that is by blending state-of-the-art learning facilities with direct connections to the whenua, manawhenua values and pūrākau, and the history of the people and land.”

Council Matters CHRIS HILL

The eight-week review period for Councils to investigate the Three Waters proposals and the impact of these on Tasman District is coming to a close. The review process has required a significant amount of focus and work from Council to understand the implications of the reform, to ask questions, and to propose solutions.

The modelling and analysis for the reforms were carried out by the Water Industry Commission of Scotland (WICS) and the assumptions used are based on the reforms there. In two decades Scottish Water lowered its unit costs by 45%. For these reforms WICS are assuming that 45% efficiency gain.

Individual assessments of each Council have been undertaken by WICS based on information provided by Councils. For Tasman the average household cost per annum for the three waters services is currently $2,290. WICS modelling suggests that without reform this will grow to $6,760 in 2051 while with reform, being a part of Entity C, TDC ratepayers will be paying $1,260 in 2051. They also suggest that our GDP growth as a result of reform will be between 5.7% and 9.1% and that nationally the annual average household cost for most Councils if they opted out and continued on a stand-alone basis would range between $1,910 and $8,690 per household by 2051.

Some key differences have been identified between the WICS assumptions and TDC’s. TDC has identified $290m of capital investment needed in Tasman over the next 10 years while WICS assessed it at $858m. And over 30 years Tasman forecasts $0.86 billion compared to WICS $3.04 billion. There are also differences in depreciation modelling, in growth rates and in revenue. WICS have used 2.7 people per household as a basis where Tasman has an average of 2.1 residents per household.

WICS considers that TDC has undervalued its water assets and that they have a lower life than the Council has stated. Council staff have formed a view that the WICS modelling is unlikely to be accurate for Tasman. Which makes any decision on opting in or out more challenging, should that remain voluntary.

From a financial perspective there could be a case for change but that it’s not as compelling as what WICS has predicted.

Council will likely request an extension in the timeframe to be able to undertake more detailed work to quantify the...

Yoga sessions at Golden Bay High School are improving students’ wellbeing. Photo: Supplied.

JO RICHARDS

The Youth Yoga programme, which has been running at Golden Bay High School (GBHS) since February, is proving a hit.

Participating students say they are realising a wealth of benefits from the practice.

The programme, a collaboration between Anahata Yoga Health and Education Trust (AYHET), Creating Balance and GBHS, is a community initiative that aims to support positive youth development.

The programme’s initiator, developer and facilitator, Priyadhara of Creating Balance, is an integral yoga and meditation teacher. Her interest in working with youth started in 2016 while volunteering at Red Cross Belgium, and says she has always aspired “to work within niches of need in the community”.

From day one, AYHET’s Swami Karma Karuna, GBHS principal Linda Tame and counsellor Abbey Gilligan fully embraced the idea of offering yoga at the school. “Abbey’s guidance was key in adapting the programme to suit the high-school routine and needs of students,” says Priyadhara.

The sessions provide students with many benefits for body and mind, including stress management, cultivating

self-esteem and increasing focus. It is, Priyadhara says, about “healthy living, healthy thinking, and healthy relationships with oneself and others”.

According to parent Katrina Robbie, the greatest benefit for her daughter is the ability to relax and unwind. “She has often commented how chilled she feels going into period five on a Tuesday… It has helped her to be more attuned to her emotions and helps her cope with the stress of daily life.”

The principal is very supportive of the initiative. “Students who have been regularly attending Priyadhara’s weekly 50-minute class have reported a sense of peace and spaciousness,” says Linda. “We are incredibly fortunate to have Priyadhara gifting her time and resources to holistically improve the health of our students.”

Swami Karma Karuna says yoga helps youth to build positive mental and physical health habits, providing “the tools to manage the challenges of modern society”.

Abbey highly recommends a regular dip into this oasis of calm. “Working within a busy school environment can be challenging…Priyadhara provides an opportunity for rangatahi to reset and step away from the chaotic nature of the school day.”

Budding film-makers from Motupipi School have been honing their newfound skills over the past two months in collaboration with a small team of professional film-makers.

Their aim is to produce a short environmental movie for the Top of the South Short Film Festival.

The seven-year-old festival, which offers the opportunity for the most promising film-makers and actors across the region to showcase their work, has for the past two years included young people.

Composer, producer and writer Patsy Burke is president of the Top of the South Filmmakers, a vast collective of professionals from across the Nelson, Marlborough and Tasman regions, and is currently the appointed Film Festival director.

Patsy has been mentoring Years 3 to 10 children from seven schools, including Motupipi for the first time.

“Children are the next generation of film-makers,” she says.

“Their energy and enthusiasm is infectious; I love working with

them and I feel honoured to be part of this. But I’m still piloting the idea to make it flow better.”

Motupipi, an Enviroschool, will deliver a strong environmentthemed message through their movie, titled Charlotte’s Plastic Bag, which is about three girls who lose a plastic bag.

“It flies away while they’re eating their lunch and they go on an adventure to find it,” explain Amaru and Olive from Room 2.

“They encounter fairies, turtles, a fisherman and Super Steve the Bug Man. They are all trying to get rid of plastic. The movie ends with them finding the plastic bag and putting it in the bin.”

Patsy explained “These children are really passionate about the environment and about what plastic does. Some of the other groups are also environmentally minded, or their movies might be based on their own school values. One school has superheroes and enviro-rangers.”

The adult film-makers have been coming to the school weekly since the end of July. When lockdown interrupted production by four weeks, Patsy brought in other Top of the South Filmmakers to assist her, as well as performance-focused teacher Monica Manning and local photographer Benji Wick.

The Motupipi children are excited to be “film stars” and to walk the red carpet at the Village Theatre when their short film debuts with others on the big screen on 12 November.

Waka Kotahi’s bump in the road

The road works on Birds Hill are trying my patience. Months ago, heavy rain again caused a hazardous bulge to appear in the highway. For weeks, contractors with machinery and traffic lights had been improving the road nearby, but they all packed up their trucks and diggers and moved on so a few days later the lights were reinstated, along with a staggering number of road cones. Not a one-way system, not a detour down the old highway remnant, but another set of mindless traffic lights.

And that is all that has been done. Until a few weeks ago. On 6 September l saw two white-helmeted gentlemen standing on the bulge, so l stopped and asked them if they could please send a digger to level the road and spread a little gravel so the lights could be replaced with 50kmph signs and two-way traffic could roll again.

Well the lights changed, as they eventually do, and l had to move on, but it was with keen interest that l approached the site a few days later. And, yes...something had changed.

Another truck load of cones was now blocking access to the old highway remnant, preventing those cheating Westies from bypassing the hold up. Clever.

Waka Kotahi. We have ways of making you wait. When waka really plied the waters of Aotearoa they were swift vessels whose crews would never have tolerated obstruction.

If Intransigent NZ, oops, l mean Transit NZ, wish to borrow the name they might also take on board the attitude.

Housing and the taxing issue of capital gains

I disagree with Victoria Davis (GBW, 24/9) that a capital gains tax is the solution to our horrendous housing situation. Any tax impositions only lead to a growth in tax evasion specialists, and more hardship for the people who cannot afford to employ them.

The problem is simply the basic laws of supply and demand: the shortage of new houses being built in relation to the growth in New Zealand’s population – an increase of 300,000 people since Labour got into Government in 2017. These additional people have increased demand for housing. On the supply side, residential building consents were around 2500 per month in 2017, they are now up to 4000 per month. Still a drop in the bucket, but the trend is positive.

Capital gains taxes are a red herring: they become very complex to implement, and are too slow at producing any

meaningful result. Better solutions are to remove obstacles to house building, and increase the land availability and infrastructure needed. The problem here is the disagreements between central government, local governments, and the land-owning gentry who naturally want to maximize the value of their land holdings.

One way around the land shortage is communal living, such as that happening in Tākaka.

Damage limitation

On Sunday 26 September I parked in the supermarket car park at about 4.30pm. In backing out, I touched the front of a large, new-looking grey or fawn coloured ute or RV – maybe a Toyota. It was parked in the aisle nearest the road, down the end nearer the car park entrance.

I got out and looked, and couldn’t see that I’d done any damage. However, I wish I’d left a note, just in case there was anything I didn’t notice. Please, if this is your vehicle , and there was any damage, phone me on 027 439 2382.

Referendum for Three Waters

Dear elected councillors of Golden Bay, This is a formal request that you both initiate the request for a referendum on the Three Waters proposal from our Golden Bay Ward community. There are hundreds of rural properties with private water supplies, and wastewater disposal, that can opt out of this venture. Under the Local Government Act it is a right of ratepayers to be consulted when councils are making decisions about strategic assets, like water. Please do this as our voices in Tasman District Council.

Reg Turner

Three Waters: go with the flow

Before we move onto referendums and protests we should take a wider view of the Three Waters concept.

We all know that the water we drink or use all originates from the clouds, with rainfall filling streams, rivers, wetlands, aquifers, springs, and wells, before all flowing back into the sea.

We make use of water as it flows past us, and any storm or wastewater discharged eventually flows back into a water body, flowing past and into waterways for our neighbours below us.

In drought, big cities are struggling to provide water and are having to beg water from neighbouring councils.

It makes sense for regions to join together to monitor and distribute clean water to all those in shared watersheds. In future this will become more urgent as demand for irrigation, industrialisation and recreation increases, as well as for ecological considerations.

Under the Treaty of Waitangi Māori have equal say into use of water resources. Māoritanga places high values on water resources, which will benefit our decisions on the Three Waters project.

The infrastructure can eventually be better engineered through the Three Waters project to benefit us all.

Fonterra phasing out fossil fuel

Response to Rick and Kim Morcom’s letter “Burning coal means payment deferred” (GBW, 24/9) Fonterra is working to move to renewable energy at the remaining nine out of 28 sites across the country that continue to use coal by 2037, Takaka is one of these. At our nearby Brightwater site, we’re co-firing on wood biomass and we’ve just announced the conversion of our Stirling cheese plant to wood biomass next year.

This year, Fonterra reduced its overall emissions from coal use by 11 per cent. The majority of this came from our conversion from coal to wood pellets at our Te Awamutu site.

Milk is highly nutritious but very perishable and our nature-based farming system means volumes produced are highly seasonal. Pasteurising milk and drying it into powders adds significant value to the raw milk, producing safe, long-life nutrition that is efficient to store and transport. Currently 95 per cent of what we produce is exported and, despite being located a long way away from many of our markets, New Zealand has the most carbon efficient dairy in the world. Our farmer owners are doing great work on farm and in our operations we’re working to support this as we transition out of coal over the coming years.

We understand that not everybody in the community fully supports the Ministry of Health’s response to the pandemic. Indeed, it’s clear that some have serious concerns about specific aspects of the Government’s policy.

Given it’s such a complex and serious issue, it’s not surprising that our readers hold a wide range of opinions on the matter – and are eager to express them. Normally our letters page would provide a forum for exchanging such views but, in this case, we believe that there is a very real risk of publishing harmful misinformation. We are also concerned about the likelihood of the exchange becoming increasingly polarised and divisive at a time when solidarity is crucial.

Because we lack the requisite knowledge to assess technical information, we rely on official sources which are guided by robust science verified through peer-reviewed research.

Consequently, we take our lead from the Ministry of Health.

We took the decision at the start of the debate about the vaccine - and related protocols - that we would not publish correspondence on the subject, irrespective of whether it was in favour or against. It’s not a decision we took lightly.

Until recently we had received relatively few letters. Contrary to expectations, the majority of those submitted expressed support for Government’s response. In most cases, we replied to each correspondent explaining the reason for non-publication.

So that correspondents avoid spending time writing letters that are unlikely to be published, and for the sake of transparency, we have provided the above clarification.

We trust that our readers understand why The GB Weekly has adopted this position.

JO RICHARDS

Onetahua Restoration’s major players have welcomed Wednesday’s announcement of $250,000 funding for its feasibility study. The initial sum is part of a $3m commitment made by Predator Free 2050 Ltd (PF2050) to the project.

The ambitious initiative, designed to eradicate pests and restore native ecology across a large swathe of northern Golden Bay (GBW 24/9), is a partnership between Manawhenua ki Mohua, HealthPost Nature Trust (HPNT ) and Tasman Environmental Trust (TET).

“We are at the very early planning stages,” says HPNT chair Peter Butler. “This funding will enable a thorough feasibility study with extensive community consultation before any work would start.”

Further down the line, PF2050 has committed to fund $3m of the estimated $9m cost of the initiative, with the remaining $6m to be raised by other partners. Should it progress, the project is forecast to create up to 50 jobs.

In the meantime, the project has embarked on a community consultation process, including face-to-face meetings with local landowners and residents of the area, which stretches from Farewell Spit to the Whanganui Inlet.

Peter Butler and TET chair Gillian Bishop say that consultation at the very earliest stages will help develop a shared community vision for the project.

Local participation is particularly important, says Gillian.

“Projects like ours in other parts of the country that have strong community input are achieving great results.”

Over the past four years, HPNT, with support from Manawhenua ki Mohua, local businesses, the Department of Conservation, Lonestar Farms and dozens of local volunteers, has implemented a programme to eradicate pests and restore native habitats in the Farewell Spit-Cape Farewell area. The labour-intensive work has involved the construction of a pestproof fence at Cape Farewell, planting over 8,000 native plants in the Wharariki wetlands and placing 280 predator traps across eight traplines.

Although Peter acknowledges the enormous scale of Onetahua Restoration, he believes the project goals are achievable. “This is a bold vision, but one we are passionate about, working with the community to bring the birds and other native wildlife back to this special part of the world.”

If the feasibility study gives the project the green light, fieldwork will begin mid-2022 and is expected to be completed in 2026. However, that won’t mark the end of the journey to a predator- free landscape; it is anticipated that restoration work will expand towards Abel Tasman National Park as well as to Kahurangi and the West Coast.

“PF2050 projects are strongly connected to scienceled research and development efforts to provide the tools needed to succeed at a landscape scale,” says PF2050’s acting chair, David Macleod. “Ultimately, over time these and other landscape-scale projects are going to connect, creating large predator-free areas, resulting in significant benefits for our natural environment and native species.”

Nelson comedian Mary Glaisyer is coming to Tākaka next week with her show Life’s Absurdities & Other Stories. “I am looking forward to performing in Golden Bay very much,” says Mary. “We used to have a bach at Milnthorpe, so have many happy memories.”

Mary is fairly new to performing, having decided last year that she would give comedy a go. During the first lockdown I happened to watch quite a lot of comedy and I thought: “I can do this! I have always relished telling stories,” she says, “so I tried out at Backroom Comedy at the Liquid Bar in Nelson.”

She was delighted with the response and was motivated to keep going. April this year saw the first two performances of her show Life’s Absurdities & Other Stories at Fairfield House.

These were sold out, so two more were scheduled. “This has really encouraged me,” she says. “I find that facilitating laughter is incredibly enjoyable and my stories in this show are true, curiosities from my own life.

Actor Helen Moulder and pianist Virginia Ward will also be part of the show, Helen as MC and Virginia playing classical music between “sets”. Mary has also performed at the Scratch evenings at the Nelson Fringe Festival and has plans to perform at retirement villages in the region. She is looking forward to meeting up with old friends in Golden Bay. “Come and enjoy a live performance while you can.” Tickets are limited because of social distancing.

The two shows are on Saturday 9 October at 7.30pm and Sunday 10 October 2pm at the Playhouse Theatre. Tickets are available at Pōhutukawa Gallery, $15, or $20 at the door.

Saying farewell to Golden Bay: Pam Pruden and Charles Naylor. Photo: Neil Wilson.

NEIL WILSON

Pam Pruden and Charles Naylor sold their beloved Pōhara home and shifted to Christchurch recently. Thus Golden Bay farewelled two community stalwarts who, as a couple and as individuals, have enriched our community for more than 30 years.

Charles first came here in 1985 as the Presbyterian minister at St Andrews in the Bay. “Being a minister was a privilege,” he said. “Our careers have enabled us to touch lots of lives and be touched by them.”

Pam and Charles met at a Presbyterian Church assembly in Whakatāne in 1984 and married in Christchurch in 1988.

“It was May Day, the first of May, and the bride wore red,” says Charles. “Our wedding was part of the ordinary Sunday morning service.”

Pam had taken a correspondence course in Education for Ministry through an American university. She completed a further course to qualify as a Presbyterian minister. Between them, Pam and Charles ministered to the Bay’s Presbyterians until 1996. They also spent time in workplaces in the Bay, making themselves available to anyone who wanted to talk.

“We were involved in an extension of the ministry not connected to the congregation,” says Charles. We visited places like the cement works, the dolomite works, the power board.

Pam concentrated on where the women worked. It was a great opportunity to meet up with people and to be there for them. For a long time after Pam retired, some of the women from the dairy factory used to organise an annual morning tea catch-up with her.”

Pam says, “People say they remember me in the alb (the minister’s official robe), which was important on a Sunday, but we worked in civvies most of the time. I was an industrial chaplain before I was the minister at St Andrews. That’s what ministry is all about – being with the people as well spreading the gospel. You’re a person, not a role model. That’s one reason I was so proud to be part of a child protection group set up by Helen Bracefield and Sheryl Nalder.”

When Charles reached 65, the age of compulsory retirement in the church, Pam was happy to be appointed as his successor.

After a while, she was keen to go somewhere else and establish herself as a minister in her own right, “not in the shadow of Charles”, so she became the minister in Mayfield in midPh:0273950037 0273950037 Ph: goldenbayroofing@yahoo.com goldenbayroofing@yahoo.com www.goldenbayroofing.co.nz www.goldenbayroofing.co.nz

Canterbury.

Before they left the Bay, Charles and Pam built their home in Pōhara, having decided it was where they wanted to retire.

After five busy years in the large Mayfield parish, Pam also reached the compulsory retirement age, and the couple came home to the Bay. Their service to the community was firmly based on unshakeable principles. Once they retired, they were able to operate even more freely within those principles of social justice, peace, and acceptance.

Charles explains: “One of the things that made it easy for us to move on from the Presbyterian Church was something the church itself decided. In their ‘unwisdom’ they passed a rule forbidding us to conduct gay marriages. When we were ministers, we were also contracted to the Ministry of Justice as celebrants, so we carried on officiating at weddings after we retired.

“It was important for gay people to be able to have lawful unions celebrated. I had many gay friends – and colleagues – so Pam and I conducted gay marriages.”

Pam says their stance on this matter arose out of their belief that the church had done itself a disservice by preaching a gospel of love and inclusiveness and then excluding some people.

In their retirement, Pam and Charles continued their enthusiastic involvement in community matters. Pam explains a highlight: “Ann Jones asked me to be part of the Abbeyfield House project. Ann was heading up the committee overseeing that essential community asset. It was wonderful to be part of and I take my hat off to Ann.” Pam and Charles were attracted to Quaker meetings because of their lifelong dedication to the peace movement and their shared commitment to issues of equality and social justice.

They have also been active members of U3A. Charles has been especially active in music appreciation groups and choirs.

For the sake of Charles’ health and to be closer and more accessible to family, they have shifted to Ngaio Marsh Village in Christchurch.

“It’s a huge wrench but it’s the right thing to do,” says Pam. “We want to say thank you to Golden Bay for a wonderful life and to all those lovely people who have given of their time and energy to help us in our shift.”

Parents bend the rules: Some say the final score was 5-1, others beg to differ. Despite best efforts by the parents (and sometimes more than 11 players on the pitch) they were outclassed by the Panthers, who won by a margin in this season’s Players versus Parents Grand Finale. The 13th/14th grade Panthers have had a fabulous season, which concluded with a second place standing. Coach Pew Singh is thrilled with the team’s progress. “This team has really grown in their skill and on-field performances.” He’s keen to keep the team together for the 2022 season.

JO RICHARDS

Hampered by pitch availability, the youth and junior competitions did not restart after lockdown, but the season closed on a high with a highly sociable parents-versus-youth match at the Rec Park the weekend before last (see above).

But following the Covid-induced hiatus, senior football did briefly resume allowing the final round of league fixtures to be played. The results for Golden Bay sides were mixed, with both men’s teams losing while the women recorded a win.

We take a look at how the season shaped up for the Bay’s senior teams.

Mountain Goats GBAFC men’s first XI played in top tier of Nelson Bays Football competition for the first time in the club’s history this season – a major achievement – but they were unable to scale the dizzy heights and ended the competition at the foot of the table.

Club president Anju Ejima says the squad were full of excitement going into the season. “With much anticipation and a few frayed nerves the boys accepted and stepped up to the challenge.” But a run of bad luck started before the competition kicked off and it proved to be a frustrating season, says Anju.

“Just 54 minutes into the first warm-up game, star striker Luke Concannon went down with a season ending anterior cruciate ligament tear. From that point on things never seemed to settle for the Goats with more niggles and injuries.”

Despite a depleted squad, the first XI put on a brave performance, says Anju. “Coming up against some quality teams the Goats never gave up and proved that they could hold their own with some of the best in the league. With a fully fit squad who knows what could have been.”

One thing the team does know, according to Anju, is they will be playing football in a lower tier next year. “With the season over the team looks forward to the familiar embrace and warmth of the second division.”

Stingrays The Men’s Division 4 squad could be excused for feeling badly stung after playing 14 games in which they failed to register a point, but there were some positives to take from the season. “The Stingrays were fortunate enough to play every single game of the season with a great team spirit and dedication,” says Anju, pointing out that they too were hampered by a catalogue of injuries.

Players from the club’s youth team helped to plug the gaps left by injured senior squad members, explains Anju.

“The Stingrays managed to call upon junior players from the Gladiators as well as the wider community of footballers in Mohua, so as to be able to fill out a 13-man roster week in and week out.”

Anju pays tribute to the team’s hard-working inspirational

players. “Peter van der Meer did a great job coaching and playing this season. He felt all the newcomers to the team rally stepped up and stuck it out to the end of a hard but enjoyable season. And Sam Hopley played a great season up front and deservedly won the Golden Boot for the second year running.”

Shield Maidens The swashbuckling Shield Maidens finished in a respectable mid-table spot in Women’s Division 2 and were second-top scorers netting a total of 27 goals.

Maidens’ coach Phil Smith recalls the first time he met his young players back in March. “I remember thinking what a diverse group of personalities,” says Phil. “That was the key to having such a great culture in the team.”

Phil says the squad developed the qualities to foster success both on and off the field. “We trained hard, we worked on selfconfidence, self-belief and self-worth.”

The results were evident from the start. “From our first friendly game against Motueka I knew that these ladies meant business and that they had so much more to give, and they did,” says Phil. “Our first game this season proved that; guns blazing, they showed heart and pride.”

The highlight of the season, he says, was the charity game against a men’s team from Richmond. “The Shield Maidens had so much fun with the game and, at the same time, raised a huge amount of money for charity.”

But a close second was doing the double over Division 2 champions Nelson Suburbs Swans, who lost only two games all season. Phil says it was “no accident” and puts the victories down to a combination of players’ passion and strong support from the community.

Having the community back women’s football, Phil says, has been “breaking glass ceilings” for football in New Zealand and he sees the Bay as home to a “revolution” in women’s football – a movement which he says has been strongly supported by the men’s teams. It’s no wonder that the enthusiastic coach is already relishing the prospect of building on his team’s success.

“This season was just the start of something great,” says Phil.

With all official fixtures completed, they might think it’s all over, but it isn’t – not quite. Tomorrow afternoon the Shield Maidens take on Women’s Division 1 champions Richmond Foxes. “We are honoured to be hosting them in Golden Bay at the Rec Park Centre,” says Phil, adding that Maidens will be joining the Foxes the first division next season.

Reflecting on the past season, Anju, who is shortly stepping down from his role as club president, is very grateful for all the support the club has received. “A big shout out to the Golden Bay community and, of course, all our sponsors.”

The weekly Village Market returns to Tākaka Library car park tomorrow morning.

JO RICHARDS

Starting tomorrow, for the next eight months, Golden Bay can spend its Saturday mornings shopping, browsing and meeting up with friends at Tākaka’s weekly Village Market.

Market manager Grant Knowles, who has recently overcome a personal battle with cancer, says he and his market are ready to make a welcome return. “The Village Market will be back to its full glory at the Library car park every Saturday until the end of May, come rain or shine, snow or plague of locusts.”

Grant says he is very grateful to those who helped to maintain momentum over winter by running the regular Telemarket, and he hopes to talk to the organisers about continuing it through next winter.

The community certainly appears ready for the resumption of the market. “I have been inundated with people asking when it starts again,” says Grant, who believes the car park is the ideal venue. “One of the many reasons the Village Market is so popular is the playground next door which adds to the atmosphere, keeping children happy while parents shop and socialise.”

Although Grant says, “the market will remain the same as it has always been,” there are a few Covid-related rules, including a gathering limit which, not including stall holders, is currently set at 100 people. “The rules are easy to deal with,” explains Grant.

“The Village Market has a QR code for visitors and stallholders to sign in with, which means individual stallholders who don’t have one are still covered. And because the market is outdoors, masks are optional.”

All stallholders are encouraged to confirm their attendance at the market and book early. “There are still some covered stalls available but be quick because they are very popular,” says Grant, reminding traders to check their paperwork. “Anybody selling food will need to make sure their food safety plan is up to date.”

Street entertainers are also required to book slots, says Grant.

“Buskers are still a regular feature at the Village Market, and anybody interested in busking will need to make a booking.”

For more information, or to book a stall, phone or text Grant on: 027 256 0566.

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to The solutions will be published here in the next issue. see how ‘straights’ are formed.

THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 1 OCTOBER 2021

Crossing the Aorere: the bridges of Salisbury Creek ANITA PETERS

One of the most picturesque river settings in Golden Bay is so “otherworldly” that it featured in Peter Jackson’s famous movie, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

S a l i s b u r y Fa l l s , n e a r Bainham, with its four-metrehigh waterfall and nearby deep, green swimming hole is a scenic drawcard for locals and visitors year round, particularly in summer.

It’s not only the astonishing beauty of the falls and its surrounds that make this place significant. The crossing of the gorge has a remarkable history, fraught with difficulties. No fewer than five bridges have been built to span this river, and only one has survived.

The falls and the junction with the Aorere River were named after settler John Park Salisbury, who came to the area with his brother Charles in 1860 with hundreds of other hopefuls searching for gold. It was discovered in 1857 in the Quartz Ranges (in the upper reaches of the Aorere), making it the first major goldfield in New Zealand. It was a fair trek on foot from Collingwood to the Ranges. The stream where John fossicked and found a few flakes en route to the gold-fields became known as Salisbury Creek.

Sometime around 1862, a horse and cart track formed along the northern banks of the Aorere as far as Salisbury Creek junction. This provided access to the Ranges for miners, but crossing the river there on foot was dangerous, particularly when carrying loads of goods. A safer means of crossing was needed urgently.

While the local gold rush lasted only three years, earlier settlers had already been lobbying for roads and bridges to enable access across the river to the Upper Aorere, not only for mining but for milling and farming.

The fight to have a wire footbridge erected at Salisbury Creek Junction gained trac tion in 1881 due to an inquest into the drowning of a man crossing by foot. Completed in 1887, the footbridge disappointed, as it was too flimsy to carry pack-horses. It had been the cheaper construction of two options, and the sturdier version would have taken far greater loads. It was also seriously short-lived. In 1899, after only 12 years, it was washed away by a huge flood.

In 1902, this first suspension swing bridge was replaced by a second, much stronger bridge that lasted 108 years.

It remained the only means of access, by foot and in single file, to farming families on the other side, long after the gold rush was over.

The earliest suspension foot bridge built in 1887 across Salisbury Creek was destroyed by floods in 1899. Photograph: Tyree Collection.

Flowers Bridge, built in 1956 to carry vehicles, lasted only five years. Photo: Price family.

In 1956, the first vehicular bridge, intended to temporarily serve the building industry, was constructed near Salisbury Creek, initially to transport rimu logs from the Quartz Ranges to Jack Flowers’ Aorere Timber Company Mill in Bainham. Known as Flowers Bridge, this construction of rimu and beech stood 45 feet above the river.

It was an engineering feat that used an aerial cableway and absolutely no scaffolding.

I t measured 160 feet in length and was designed to take 20 tons in weight.

Unfortunately the timbers began to deteriorate only five years after its completion, and it had to be demolished.

In 1982, a new governmentfunded road bridge was finally opened further upstream to service the three farming families on the other side. It was, however, built far too low, despite warnings from locals and, predictably, was also Construction of the second Salisbury footbridge built in 1902. swept away in a devastating Photo : Etheridge family.

THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 1 OCTOBER 2021

flood only three years later. Until its urgent replacement by a much higher bridge 10 months after that, all farm supplies were taken across on the old Salisbury Creek swing bridge, with farm vehicles left at the Bainham side and only a land cruiser on the farm side ferrying everyone, including schoolchildren, back and forth, regardless of conditions or time of day or night.

In 1990, the Salisbury footbridge was given a Category 2 registration by the NZ Historic Places Trust. Then in 2003, despite fierce local opposition, Council decided to close the old swing bridge, deeming it “unsafe and a liability”, and too costly to repair, restore or maintain.

Local support for the swing bridge remained strong.

Lobbyists pushed for it to be restored and returned to a safe state for public use and the following year the Golden Bay Community Board obtained $40,000 from a government grant to do so. An afternoon tea was held by the community in the Bainham Hall to celebrate and the historic bridge quickly became a tourist attraction.

Again, its contentious resurrection was short lived. Only six years after the restoration and the fanfare that followed, this bridge too was crushed by swirling logs and swept away in the massive flood of 2010. In 2011 it was deregistered, and the site instead declared a historic place.
